A park to enjoy with children

The park is particularly suitable for younger children, with plenty of activities both outdoors and indoors, making it a good option even when the weather in Rotterdam is less than perfect.
Play areas and attractions
Plaswijckpark has numerous areas where children can play, run and discover different activities. Attractions include outdoor and indoor playgrounds, a traffic area where children can learn basic road rules while driving small vehicles, and a variety of attractions designed for younger visitors.
During the warmer months, the water play areas are especially popular. The park also has plenty of green space where families can relax between activities.
Animals and nature
Another favourite area for children is the part of the park dedicated to animals. Here they can see different species and discover more about nature in an easy and entertaining way.
The combination of animals, playgrounds, water activities and indoor attractions makes Plaswijckpark particularly suitable for families with younger children who want to spend several hours away from Rotterdam’s main tourist centre.
